Quick post to write up how I built a retractable green screen mount on my wall for not much money.
I bought a mounting bracket from Amazon that was intended for paper photograph backrounds like this. I didn’t want paper, I wanted muslin for it’s superior light disbursement and durability. I already had a 9’ by 15’ muslin green screen backdrop similar to this one.
When the mounting bracket arrived, it said to use a metal rod with a 2” (two inch) inner diameter.

It’s no secret that I’m resistant to learning Javascript and frontend development. I learned HTML back before CSS was even a thing, and even Javascript came long after I started doing web development. When I look at modern web development I shudder; the ecosystem is so confusing for someone who has been out of touch as long as I have. Node, webpack, yarn, npm, frameworks, UMD, AMD, arghhh!
I’ve been watching Web Assembly with anticipation for quite some time, with the hope that it would allow me to write web applications without the typical Javascript build process.
